Do you want to work from home? Do you need a Planning Approval?

It would seem that there is a continuing and, perhaps increasing trend towards home based businesses, whereby smaller companies are moving away from the office environment in favour of working from a residential home.

In doing this it is recognized that most local councils have planning regulations and requirements which pertain to these home based business operations, which can be referred to under different headings such as home occupation, home office and home based office depending on the local council which has jurisdiction. In many instances a Development Application needs to be lodged for assessment before approval can be given, for the lawful carrying out of these home based businesses.

So whether it is in Brisbane, on the Gold Coast or any other local area in South East Queensland we can assist you in finding out what needs to be done to lawfully operate a home based business.
